Here goes. My Great Grandfather was Ervin W. Monroe Born on Jan 17, 1884. His father and mothers names were John Monroe & ------- ??Huselton!! (As spelled on the State of Illinois Marrage Index) for when their son John W. Married his first wife Anna Donmoyer on August 28, 1883 in Clay County Illinois . Anna died and John W. remarried on Jan 23, 1894 to Eliza Stanford WIlliam on the registry John W. parent were listed as John & Maragret Humes according to the (State of Illinois Marrage Indexs)) So as you can see I need some help! The story also goes that after the death of Ervin's mother Anna and after the 2nd marriage of John W. to Eliza Stanford WIlliam. Ervin was sent out at the age of 10 to make a life and he never returned to the home of his parents again. I have abosolutly nothing after the marriage of John W. to Eliza. I hope this rings a bell in some one out there. Sherry (Mygrlsmom34@aol.com I have further info on Anna Donmoyer from PA
